Actions taken by the Secretary in July to December 2009 - Attachment 2
Departure	Export Licence Holder	Actions taken by a delegate of the Secretary
August 2009	Emanuel Exports Pty Ltd	AQIS is investigating the cause of the mortality. The investigation is not yet finalised but indications to date suggest that the causes of mortality included enteritis, inanition and heat stress, and that additional stress prior to loading (shearing and drafting) and high temperatures in the Persian Gulf contributed to the mortality exceeding the reportable level. AQIS placed the following condition on a subsequent consignment of sheep exported from Fremantle to the Persian Gulf by this exporter: No sheep are to be shorn within 48 hours of departure from the registered premises. The result for the consignment with the additional condition was acceptable, with 462 mortalities reported out of 65,495 sheep loaded, equating to a mortality rate of 0.71%.
